Yes, but it appears to just be another application wrapper around the
"rofftext" object, just as "rofftext" itself is.  However, while

	toez -ms <your input file>

worked OK (<your input file> being the slice of the input file you
provided), "rofftext -t -ms <your input file>" didn't.  Furthermore,
neither "rofftext" *nor* "toez" did anything with the following:

The Xmu Library is a collection of miscellaneous (some might say random)
utility functions that have been useful in building various applications
and widgets.  This library is required by the Athena Widgets.

where "rofftext" was run with "-ms" ("-t" or not "-t" didn't matter),
and "toez" was run with "-ms" as well ("-troff" or not "-troff" didn't
matter).

"nroff -ms <that file>" did work, however.  The "-ms" macro package here
is the standard SunOS 4.0.3 one; differences between the various "-ms"
packages may account for these problems.
